Another Suit Against the city.

G. c. Stahl, through his attorneys,
have brought suit against the city for
$1,000 damages for allowing the G., II. Il
s. A. railway company to build the
Olive street bridge in front OF his prop
erty, thereby closing him out entirely,
as his property fronts upon this street
and is fianked on all sides by other prop
erty, leaving him no entrance OF exit.
The railroad company is made a party
to the suit. This Is a similar case to the
one brought by Mrs. Stein against the
city and the railway company, which
was decided in the federal court in her
favor and against the railway company.

Vampire Bats.

These South American pests have been
characterized as merely the myth OF
Imaginative Travellers" but many peo-
pe have borne witness to their blood
sucking propensities. They settle beside
their victims by night, and if sleeper
has left even the tip of his nose uncov-
cred, he must expect to lose consider
able quantity of blood before morning.

times small children become so debilita.
ted by loss of blood that they become
sick, or even die.
A traveller in Ecuador not only was
obliged to cover. himself by mosquito
netting at night, as protection against
these creatures, but also placed his dog
under an inverted earthern pot to sleep.
The fowls were put into closed box for
the night, and evidently had such an ac'
cursts idea Of tho danger they were in
when unprotected, that they willingly
entered their place of shelter, and al
lowed the cover to be closed upon them.
1t is curious fact that the bats bte
is hardly felt, oven when the person at
tackled is awake. A resident OF South
America says that he was once talking
with man who remarked that he could
not understand how some people were
always getting unaccountably bitten by
bats. At the very moment when he
made tho statement, bat was sucking
one of his toes, unperceived by him in
the dusk. AS he moved, the creature
futtered away, aud the toe was found
to be bleeding.
The vampire is said to settle beside
his victim, futtering his wings gently
while sucking the blood. This action
fans the wound so tits not felt. Whether
this supposition be accurate or not, it is
certain that the bat does not alight upon
his prey, but besile it on the pillow or
ground, since those who sleep on the
side arc bitten upon the nose, and those
who lio upon the back are wounded in
the ears. Youths Companion.

A Sand. Storm in Oregon.

The numerous tracts of sand extend
ing along the Columbia River from Dali
las, in eastern Oregon, to Wallula, in
Washington Territory, are a source of
no little amount of trouble to the rail-
road passing through that section. These
sand-beds, lying as they do near the
river, unprotected from the prevailing
upstream winds, are constantly chang
ing-,hifting from place to place, cover
ing and uncovering the stunted growth
of sagc-blush, and filling every nook and
crevice to be found in the scattered
groups of rocks and powders. On each
side of the railroad in places where these
beds are more exposed to the elements,
are wooden sand shifts resembling mini
ature fences, placed some ten or twelve
feet apart, at an anglo of about As de-
grees with the track, and as the flying
sand is whirled along the line of the
railroad they form a good protection by
throwing it to either side.
The seyerest storm known to this
section of the country occurred toward
the close OF last winter; the wind blow
ing q regular hurricane from the south,
the saud-shifts, being in wrong posi-
tion to meet such gale from that point
of the compass, were in many places
completely covered up. The sand block
AIDED the track in some instances to
depth of three or four feet, and had to
be shoveled off, allowing delayed trains
to push ahead foot by foot only to close
in to the rear as soon rs the train had
gained hcadway.
As the counterpart of a natural phe-
nomenon usually associated with the
African desert, such storm has a new
and curious interest When it become.
more familiar we shall need q name for
the sand-ladcn wind of Oregon. In
Africa it is known as the simoom; in
southern Italy. the sirocco; in Turkey,
the samicl; and in Egypt, kamsin.-

The Color Of the Eyes.

Hazcl-eyed people ure rar'ly shallow,
and you must be prepared for surprises
when you have to deal with them.
Blue eyes take care of their friends,
brown of their enemies, gray OF their
countries, black of their pleasures, and
green of themselves.
The violet eye is o woman's eye, OF
which the main characteristics are affcc-
tion and purity, chivalric belief, aud
limited or deficient intellectually.
Speaking popularity, it may be said
that eyes ar, brown, blue, gray, hazel,
green, or of no color at all. The last
three varieties, however, are based on
misnom
The light blue eye is the eye of the
northern races-of the Swcdes and the
Danes, of the Scotch sometimes also.
1t suggests col s.ancy and truth, stead
fastness, simplicity, courage, purpose.
1t is mans eye, with it's moderation
and sclf-rcspect-honost in the glance it
gives you, if at the same time cold and
phlegmatic.
Bue-gray eyes, radiatcd from within
with brown and bronze strcaks, are
chiefly found among the mixed races,
and especially the English and tho
Americans. They always suggest a
good deal OF strength of character, gen.
orally sense of mischief and trickiness,
and sometimes that humorous cruelty
which belongs to tho Anglo-Saxon race.
The blue is certainly the type with
the greatest number of varieties. 1t is
color that illustrates pre-emlnently
the feminine qualities-tendcrncss, Of
fection, yielding to the wishes of
others, sympathy with small sufferings,
that measure Of vanity without which no
woman can be entirely attractive, and
that self-surrcnder which goes far to
persuade a man that he is deni-god
because his wife believes it and tells him

Meals on ShipbOard.

Each sailor furnishes his own tin
plate, coffee-cup and knife and fork.
He has no table, with chairs placed for
his convenience. When grub is ready
to be served the cook gives the signal.
A sailor comes and receives pan of
bread; another takes pan of beef, the
third takes the large coffce-pot, with
hash or potatoes, as the cook chooses.
The bill of fare is fixed by law. At the
beginning Of tho voyage the captain
calls his crew aft and inquiries if there
are any who wish to have their food
weighed. They always prefer to eat as
much as they csn ''stow away"
The cook frequently goes into the
cabin and asks for piece Of silver,
which he puts into tho frying pan with
the spuLtering fish. If the silver turns
black no considers the fish to have been
poisoned. Io says they sometimes eat
tho copper from the bottom of ship
or from copper banks. The silver is
usually found to b. bright and shining,
and the luxury of fresh fish dinner is
enjoyed with unadultcratcd happiness.
The sailors eat in the forecastle. If
they are disposed they can rig them
selves table, otherwise they must sit
around on Trunks or the deck in rough
weather and take their rations. Tho
officers eat with the captain in the cabin,
where q table is set and furnished the
same as at home. A rack is used in
rough weather to keep the dishes from
dancing. If there is good cook on
board everything goes web, but
an unskillcd cook makes all hands mis-
erable.
Often a porpoisc is harpooned and
then there is great excitement. The
liver and heart taste similar to those of
a hog, but one must be exceedingly
hungry to enjoy the meat. 1t has one
virtue that of being fresh. The oils
usually saved, being quite valuable.
That found in the head is much es-
tcemed for oilfng clocks.
During rough weather the passengers
do not attempt TO sit at the table, but
take whatever thsy require in their
hands and cat the best way they can.

Dreaming Seals.

Few persons can have failed to notice
that dogs while sleeping seem to review
with good deal of vividness their ad-
ventures in the chase. The author of
"Our Arctic Province" observed similar
indications of dreaming on the part of
the fur seals, OF whose habits he made u
careful study.
The sleep of the fur-seal, seen on land,
is always accompanied by an involun-
tary nervous, muscular twitching and
slight shifting of the fippers, together
with ever and anon qLivering and un-
easy rollings of the body, followed by a
quick folding anew of the fore fippers;
all of which may be signs, as 1t were, of
their simply having nightmare, or of
sporting, in a visionary way, in some far
off dreamland sea. have studied hun
dreds OF such somnoent examples.
Stealing softly up so c'ose that 1 could
lay my hand upon them from the point
where was sitting, and watching the
sleepy seals, l have alway' found their
